Alyssa Sargent: Hummingbird's Eye View, Colombia
1 August to 20 September 2025
Alyssa is this year's winner of our SES Explorer Award for Inspirational & Scientific Trailblazing.
Alyssa is a wildlife biologist who specialises in applying tiny electronic devices to study hummingbirds. She is equally passionate about devising creative ways to share the wonder of the world’s smallest birds with people everywhere, such as with Hummingbird Sugar Rush, her ongoing board game project. A 4th-year PhD candidate at the University of Washington, Alyssa conducts all of her fieldwork in Colombia.
Alyssa’s expedition to the Colombian Andes will explore the lives of hummingbirds in an age of escalating, human-driven scarcities. Working alongside and learning from the local community, she and her international team of experts will leverage novel technologies like tiny tracking devices and hummingbird-mounted cameras to learn what makes hummingbirds ‘tick’ when they’re surrounded on all sides by competitors.
